Over the past half-decade, Wiz Khalifa’s love of cannabis has escalated beyond something he merely does for fun. Back in 2014 he created a strain called Khalifa Kush, which he did in partnership with Cookie Co. 415. But now the “Black And Yellow” rapper now faces a lawsuit from the strain’s co-owner Carlos Arias, who sued both Khalifa and NFL Hall of Famer and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan, who was involved in the product. Arias claims he was left out of a cannabis licensing deal valued price at no less than $20,000,000.
According to court documents provided by The Blast, Arias, who is a director and managing agent for Cuzzi Consulting Inc., claims that Wiz and Strahan “pilfered more than $100,000,000 in assets from Nominal Defendants.” Arias’ lawsuit also claims a “breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting fiduciary breaches, conversion, corporate waste, tortious breach of an express or implied agreement, unjust enrichment, money had and received, professional negligence, civil conspiracy, and declaratory judgment arising out of Defendants’ wrongful conduct concerning the usurpation and misappropriation of assets from Nominal Defendants KKE USA and the Khalifa Kush Joint Venture.”
Arias’ lawsuit also says that Wiz orchestrated the scheme with help from “his entourage who conspired with the illicit assistance of outside counsel Pryor Cashman” in order to “funnel the proceeds from to themselves and certain third party beneficiaries.”
The lawsuit arrives after Wiz launched his delivery-only restaurant, HotBox By Wiz, which boasts a menu that references his music catalog and his love for marijuana.

Jonathan Zogbi reaches new heights with new release “Sky High”
Jonathan Zogbi’s latest release, “Sky High,” is a turning point in his career as a musician. It turns personal problems into a message of hope and growth. The track has a catchy beat and a modern, sleek production style, but it also has a deeper meaning and purpose.
“Sky High” draws on modern pop music and gives it a spiritual boost. The production is bright, which makes it easy to get into, but it doesn’t take away from the song’s emotional core. On the other hand, Zogbi walks a fine line between being popular and telling a good story.
The story behind this release is what makes it so cool. After getting a diagnosis that changed his life, Zogbi left his job as an engineer and turned inward, eventually turning to music. This started as a personal outlet, but it has clearly grown into something more purposeful: a place for realness, connection, and art rooted in a message. Jonathan Zogbi’s new song “Sky High” is also a statement about an artistic path defined by purpose, showing that you can rise even when things are tough.

Knux Burgandy rejects being average on new release “Mediocre”
Knux Burgandy’s new single, “Mediocre,” sounds more like a personal statement than a song. The Boston producer-artist is all in on pain rap, and the song hits hard and with purpose. It’s based on raw feelings, sharpened by what you’ve been through.
“Mediocre” is a hard-hitting trap record, but what really sets it apart is its heart. Burgandy doesn’t just rap, he also talks about how he feels, thinks, and fights against settling for less. It’s easy to chant the hook, and it stays in your head after just one listen. The message, on the other hand, lasts a lot longer, no matter what happens, don’t settle for an average life.
Knux Burgandy is becoming well-known in a way that seems real and important. His community is increasingly supporting him, and he is clearly dedicated to his work. The word “mediocre” isn’t just a word, it’s a reminder that being average was never the goal.
